2.1 Installation Guide

Place the crate in an open area with space in front of the crate and behind it. The area in front of the crate will need to fit a forklift. 

Unscrew the wood screws holding the door in place. The screws will have either a 5/16" hex head [1] or a Phillips head. 

Undo the wire holding close the six latches [2] and release the latches. There is one latch in each corner of the door and one in the center top and bottom of the door. 

There are several wood blocks [3] holding the HSF-450 in place. These are held in place by 6 bolts with 3/4" nuts [2]. Undo these nuts and remove the blocks. 

Lift the crate up with a forklift to remove the six bolts [4]. 

Once the bolts and wood blocks have been removed release the strap [1] holding the HSF-450 down. 

Place the forks of the forklift [1] close together and under the unit. Place a piece of cardboard on top of the unit to protect it if it hits the top of the crate. 

Lift the machine a few inches.

Place a pallet jack [2] behind the crate and lift the crate so it is no longer resting on the floor. 

Use the pallet jack to pull the crate away from the HSF-450. 

Lower the HSF-450 and remove the packaging. Unlock the wheels and move it to its location. 

Once the HSF-450 has been placed, plug it into power and connect it to an air source. 

Warning: The HSF-450 will produce smoke and steam while heating tools, so it should be placed in a well-ventilated area. 

Plug the 3-phase 4-prong 5-wire twisting plug. Electrical requirements are in the table below. 

The Air pressure must be between 75 and 87 PSI (0.5 to 0.6 MPA). The barb for the air intake accepts a tube with an ID of 1/4" and OD of 3/8". 

An air hose can be attached to the T joint [2]. 

The HSF-450 does not ship with any coolant. Fill the coolant tank with rust inhibiting machine coolant. 

Do not fill the tank all the way to the top. If the coolant level is too high, coolant will splash out of the tank when it is drained from the cylinder. It is recommended to only fill the tank to about 70% full. This is 8.5 gallons (32 liters). 

The tank can be filled by opening the cabinet door on the left side and pouring coolant into the tank or by pouring coolant into the tool holder cylinder. 

Access to the coolant tank is gained by pressing the button [1] on the latch [2] to release it and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise. The tank has an open top [3] and can be directly filled. 

To fill from the tool holder cylinder, remove the tool holder sleeve and pour coolant into the cylinder. The bottom of the hole [4] empties into the tank. It is possible to overfill the tank from this hole and the coolant will spill over into the cabinet. Open the cabinet and check the tank to prevent overfilling. 

To use the heat shrink machine a tool sleeve [1] must be placed in the tool holder hole and a tool heating sleeve [2] must be placed on the heating head. 

The tool sleeve depends on the size of the tool holder. There is one for 30, 40, and 50 taper tool holders as well as one for HSK63A tool holders. The tool sleeve goes on the top of the cylinder [3]. 

The tool heating sleeve needs to be placed on top of the heating head [4]. The heating sleeve and the heating head have 4 tabs [5] to help hold it in place.
